Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

OGE Energy Corp. (the "Company") is the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E"), a regulated electric utility with approximately 801,000 customers in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. In addition, OGE holds a 28.5 percent limited partner interest and a 50 percent general partner interest in Enable Midstream Partners, LP.
On August 8, 2013, the Company issued a press release describing the Company's consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference. As described in the press release, the Company reported earnings of $0.46 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $0.47 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. At OG&E, the increase was primarily due to revenues associated with transmission projects and new customer growth, partially offset by milder weather. Net income at the utility was $79 million, compared to $73 million in the year-ago quarter. For Natural Gas Midstream Operations, results were consistent with management's expectations as volumes continued to grow in the Granite Wash and SE Cana regions offset by a January 1, 2013 contract conversion from a keep-whole processing arrangement to a longer term fixed-fee processing arrangement. In addition, lower natural gas liquids prices and transportation revenues impacted financial results. For further information, see the press release attached as Exhibit 99.01.
